Inspiration is a word that is often a true mystery. We all feel it~ from time to time at least. No matter how horrible things seemed last week, or how frustrated they were earlier today~ you have felt the bliss of true inspiration. When all the pieces just seemed to fall into place! When you were "walking on the clouds" and couldn't have been happier. These are pure moments of inspiration or being "in-spirit"! That is when everything works out. Why everything happens right on time! Because you are in-spirit!
There is nothing so amazing as this! When you are just untouchable! I remember as a boy, digging my cleats into the dirt of the infield, getting ready for our pitcher to wind up, checking the runners, feeling my heart beat, and poof... everything would nearly silence! The batter would start to swing and instinctively I would spring toward where the ball would go, where it hit. "Get a jump on the ball." is what they say. How is it possible for me to feel which way to go? No one ever informed me that I could do this any time! Would have been excellent to know that I could have used that ability elsewhere in life!
It's the same thing when I'm playing with my family fully or making love or even writing! Everything just flows to me that is good, "Time seems to stand still." You know these moments! Many of them are the highlights of your life. They are the stories that you tell to your friends or about them! For many people it's as if they are rare possessions. Looking at trophies, scrapbooks and photos on the wall feels great, I know. My question is, Why not today?

I have sat awhile and thought about what determines when we have inspired moments. Is it a cosmic force unexplained within the boundaries of our human knowledge? Is it possibly fate? That you would be so amazing or so wise in one particular moment, but NOT another moment? Maybe we only have so many inspired moments, but we pick. Umm. Don't think so. So, what is it? Maybe it's just our choice? Many people wouldn't like to hear that, I know. The thing is, at each and every moment of our lives~ we choose. Physically, we choose where we are, what we are doing, who we are around, etc. On a non-physical level (more importantly) we choose each moment what it is we are giving our attention too and what we believe about it. What ever we choose to believe determines how we feel inside. A perceived encouraging comment about your weight is going to be taken differently than a similar comment that you believed to be degrading.
So, when we are "off", what do we do to get back to our "In-Spirit" place of life? Well, here are a few tips that should help a bit...
- Look at something NEW! (If your eyes are falling upon what you do NOT want, set them upon something you do!)
- You could try new music, test drive the dream car, do a walk through on a house, try on clothes you want, new golf club, whatever your thing is!! Enjoy!
- Find new ways to look at the situation. (If you want to or have to just deal with it as is.)
- There are always more than one side to any story, though it can be hard, if you are honest you can find many different ways to look at things so you don't get to hard drawn and become stuck!
- Ask yourself how you would see it if you were another person you know or who is in the situation already. Sometimes this can create all the inspiration you need.
- Do something Physical! (Need I say more? Stimulate blood flow folks!)
- Does not matter if it is rolling in the sheets, running around the block, or hitting the gym- get your heart rate up! (Always talk to a Dr. if starting a new physical routine.)
- Laugh and Play! (Something my wife and children have taught me more than anything.)
- We tend to take things entirely too serious, this will lead to a various amount of illness and or pain. Often times many of us feel as if to lighten up is to break focus or go backwards. If you are taking a break as an excuse, then probably so. If it is because you have been handling business and need to find some release, then just do it and do it right! No regrets and No looking back!! Just simply have fun and laugh from the heart if you want instant inspiration now!! ~J~
